FINAL: McCoy leads Longhorns over Jayhawks, 51-20

It's pretty safe to guess that Leach, in his own quirky way, wanted to offer support to his good friend, and former coaching staffmate, Mark Mangino. This jersey name change was no accident that it happened at this time.

The Breakdown: What really happened during Todd Reesing's first interception against OU

Excellent Job Jesse.

Ladies and Gentlemen... this article illustrates perfectly why Tom Keegan is incompetent.

Jesse did a great job, I thank him for his efforts. The thing is, Jesse needed to get help from a variety of experts to be able to get full understanding of the coverages to be able to write this article in the first place. CREDIT JESSE. He was willing to go the extra mile, ask the questions, and create all the needed slides to illustrate the play where readers could easily understand it.

Why does Tom Keegan continually REFUSE to hire a genuine football EXPERT to put on the LJW Sports staff? Why can't Keegan actively recruit a KU Alumni player to become a writer on the staff?

I'm not saying every member of the Sports staff needs to be an Ex-Athlete, but I don't think there is a single person on the LJW that has played Football at any level, especially any kind of a high level. Writers WRITE WHAT THEY KNOW. Clearly the LJW is still trying to learn what the game of football is all about.

If Keegan were to hire someone, like a graduating KU Alumni Player to be on staff, the benefits to the LJW would be incredible. It's these kinds of managment decisions that prove Keegan is completely inept at his job.

Jesse... thanks for an excellent article. I hope that you continue with your Football education so that more articles like this will happen in the future. Hopefully you can keep asking your "Coach" expert more questions and be able to get the insights needed to breakdown a lot more about the game of football than the LJW has ever attempted to in the past. Clearly that's the only way we will ever get them. At least someone on the LJW staff is working hard and trying to cover football the way it should be covered. I applaud your efforts. WELL DONE SIR!!

Mizzou alums seek KU students of similar stripe

The LJW already sponsors the group.

There are regular articles promoting MU all the time. This article is now promoting this group. Clearly the LJW wants to encourage Mizery groups to get larger in the Lawrence area.

Standards have been lowered

Tom Keegan has obviously never spent any significant time in an African American neighborhood in his lifetime. What little time he has spent was probably with his windows rolled up, his doors locked, and cowering in fear.

Not that anybody ever did anything to him in those neighborhoods.

His lack of understanding is so obvious that it would be comical if he weren't writing about it publicly and embarrasing himself so much.

KU sports teams’ apparent feud spurs 2nd brawl

The UDK is making the LJW look like a tabloid rumor rag.

KU sports teams’ apparent feud spurs 2nd brawl

It's also important to take note that no reporter was willing to put their name on this story.

"By KUsports.com staff reports"

really?

Grow a pair, LJW.

Put the writers name on the story. It makes every writer in the LJW look bad when crap is written without a by-line. It makes the editors look worse.

KU sports teams’ apparent feud spurs 2nd brawl

My point is that we have no idea what happened because there is no credible witness to the incident in this story.

For all anyone knows, some student made a crank call to Public Safety today to get a good laugh after what happened last night.

The LJW has no source willing to go on the record about this incident that actually witnessed anything.

It may have really happened, but even if it did, the LJW has nothing to write a story about. It's shoddy reporting. This is standard operating procedure for the LJW whenever a controversial story is out there. Print every rumor little thing... but don't worry about actually doing the real reporting work of getting statements from anyone that witnessed anything.

The LJW is happy to have these updates get picked up by the national media because it boosts the LJW revenue.

It's irresponsible reporting that is harmful to the community.

The LJW needs to get a real source willing to put their name on the record.
They need to get the real facts.
They need do the work of getting a real story, and not just report rumors.

KU sports teams’ apparent feud spurs 2nd brawl

The LJW always loves to blow these things out of proportion.

Pretty soon we can expect a breaking news update that Self and Mangino are firing guns at each other.

Get a source willing to go on the record LJW, and stop trying to sensationalize it.

Officials from KU Army ROTC, KU Public Safety Office and the KU Athletics Department got together Fr

I know that some fans may not like the idea of the cannon, but I hope that everyone will voice their thanks and respect for those in our military that choose to serve.

Rock Chalk for our Military.

Fire and the Mountain

This is rapidly becoming my favorite feature that shows up on KUSports.com.

It's fun to get your perspective, Nick.

I do find it strange that Nick's blog... a blog from a PHOTOGRAPHER... doesn't have a photo next to the link on the home page. What's up with that? If Nicks face is horribly goofy lookin' ... can't they post one of Nick's cool pix there instead? :) hehehe

Personally, I think it should be an action shot of Nick at work on the sidelines, but are Nicks arms long enough to get a good shot?
